Apologies if i posted this in the wrong thread earlier - making sure I am in the right spot...
I'm new to this forum and new owner of a 1999 Landcruiser with 126k miles on it.
Engine started running a little rough - intermittently... sometimes while in motion and sometimes at idle / at red lights. The rough running is enough to cause some vibration and rear window rattle. I smelled antifreeze under the hood and the reservoir was low so i refilled and have been monitoring the level there in addition to engine temps which remain normal. Radiator appears to have plenty of antifreeze (im using the pink/red variety).
I noticed a small leak which im pretty sure is antifreeze from driver's side - front of engine bay (poss crack in left side of radiator?)
Would a cracked/leaking radiator cause the engine to run rough / vibrate more than normal?
i have not noticed any white smoke in the exhaust (yet).
